Full Collections of Implements

At the salon, nail technicians use a variety of nail implements to perfect the shape of your nails and ready them for polishing. Scissors and clippers are used to cut the nails to your desired length, and different types of files can be used to perfect the shape of the tips to squares, ovals and every shape in between. Tools can be used to clean under the nails and around them and to push back the cuticles from the nail beds. You can also find buffers to increase the shine of the nails. Nail implement sets make it easy to get the tools you need to have perfectly shaped toenails and fingernails. You can find everything from small sets with basics like clippers and files to multi-piece sets with everything you could possibly need to get your mani-pedi off to the perfect start.

Products for Your Polish

A perfect polish consists of three steps. First, you apply a base coat to make a smooth, even surface over the nails. This makes it easier for the colored polish you use in the second step of your mani-pedi to adhere to the nails. After applying 2 to 3 coats of your favorite color, finish with a top coat, a product that forms a protective layer over the colored polish to reduce the chances of chipping and to extend the life of your nail looks. Getting the perfect three-step polish is easy with nail polish kits, which provide the top coat, base coat and colored lacquer for your mani-pedi. You can use the top and base coats with other colored nail polishes as well as with the colored lacquer found in the kit.

Faux Nail Sets for Flawless Results

If you have difficulty growing your nails to the length you want or have nail imperfections that detract from your appearance, using faux nails can help you fake flawless fingernails and toenails. Kits that contain artificial nails and accessories allow you to get that picture perfect nail look with ease. These sets contain artificial nails, glue and tools for application, giving you all of the essentials for an at-home faux mani or pedi. You can also find gel nail kits that contain LED lights for getting the benefits of long-lasting, chip-resistant gel nails without having to go to the salon.

Hand and Foot Care Sets for Pampering

Salon mani-pedis typically include pampering and care for the hands and feet, and you can buy special kits to reproduce these treatments at home. Kits may contain files for removing calluses and dead skin from the hands and feet, treatments for softening the skin and addressing imperfections and creams or lotions for moisturizing and nourishing the skin of the hands and feet. These products are perfect for complementing a mani-pedi or for use on their own to care for problem skin.
